From thegreenpages.ca a post on savedbybikes.com.

Many thanks to the writer: Nathan Shaw, who took the time and effort to understand what we are trying to do here.

Nathan: “Saved by bikes; what exactly are bikes going to save?”

SBB: “Well, cities. Save them from cars. There are too many cars coming into North American cities on a daily basis.  In addition to the really awful carbon footprint, the money spent by cities on supporting the auto-infrastructure is enormous and unsustainable. So bikes can help save the city and by extension the planet”

We are targeting commuters who use an automobile for all or part of their commute, and asking them to consider some alternatives. We are certainly a for-profit company; anything else and we would not be able to continue to accomplish this mission. But at the same time, we know we are also doing the right thing.

Great piece, thanks for helping Nathan.
